Destiny, ambition, and murder are the forces that shape one of the world's greatest tragedies. It is prophesied that a Scottish lord "shall never vanquished be until great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him". Now Macbeth can luxuriate in his invincibility, knowing that woods don't climb hills. Or do they? As he and Lady Macbeth move from one heinous crime to another, a day of reckoning awaits them. The parts of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are played by Hugh Ross and Harriet Walter.

Henry IV, Part I (Arkangel Complete Shakespeare Series)

Literary

The stirring continuation of the themes begun in "Henry IV, Part One" again pits a rebellion within the State and that master of misrule, Falstaff, against the maturing of Prince Hal. Alternating scenes between bawdy tavern and regal court, between revelry and politics, Shakespeare probes at the sources, uses, and responsibilities of power as an old king dies and a young king must choose between a ruler's solemn duty and a merry but dissipated friend, Falstaff. The play represents Shakespeare at the peak of his maturity in writing historical drama and comedy.
